The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has just released the 2017 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods along with the 2017 summary of major modifications and explanatory notes.
The 2017 List - which designates what substances and methods are prohibited both in- and out-of-competition, and which substances are banned in particular sports - will come into force on 1 January 2017.
The FEI urges all athletes to thoroughly check the status of any medication (prescribed and over-the-counter) they will be taking in 2017 according to the updated List. In case of doubt athletes should contact their National Anti-Doping Agency (NADO) or the FEI.
Where prescribed medication contains substances which are prohibited, athletes should apply to the FEI for a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) and await the outcome of the application before starting the treatment.
